TargetQuan 3 Software Leading the way in regulatory POPs quantification Bullet Bullet Bullet
Leading the way in regulatory POPs quantification Analyse Samples Open Sequence Process Sequence Analyse Samples (Xcalibur) Open Sequence (TargetQuan) Process Sequence The quantification of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) comes with very specific requirements. The persistent, chronic toxicity of these compounds means extremely low-level determinations are carried out using highly accurate and precise isotope dilution techniques. Demanded by an extensive regulatory framework, and the need to build up a picture of the overall toxicity of a sample; quantitative calculations can quickly become demanding and complex. This impacts laboratory efficiency and time to result. Thermo Scientific TargetQuan 3 software is uniquely tailored for a workflow-orientated POPs quantification. This software package is designed specifically to serve laboratories charged with performing routine quantification of POPs in a regulated environment. With TargetQuan 3, comprehensive processing of MS, MS/MS and HRMS data is possible on a single software platform for the seamless quantification of: Dioxins and furans Polychorinated biphenyls Brominated flame retardants Polybrominated diphenyl ethers Polychlorinated napthalenes Other target compounds requiring isotope dilution techniques Simple customizable tabbed layouts
